What are sisters for?

I just overheard a story a couple days ago concerning two sisters who are 18-months apart in age. One constantly dyes her hair blonde to hide the gray and is rather obsessed with her appearance and not aging (or showing that she's aging). The other doesn't dye her hair much and depending on how one looks at it, the hair can either come across as all blonde, all white, or a blend of the two. They live quite a few miles away from one another, so their times together are few and far between. One visited the other for over a week just a couple weeks ago and on their first evening out, a waitress asked them if they were mother and daughter. Then the waitress asked how many years apart they were. Deep down, the blonde gal probably felt pretty good about herself because of these comments, but the other didn't. She even turned to her sister and asked if her hair made her look older, to which her sister responded, "Yes it does."

So, ever since this lady returned, she's been obsessing over her hair. The day after she returned, she had it dyed and guess what? She doesn't like it. She also wore this teeny bopper-looking shirt that her sister would wear and that was an odd sight. She even spent a few minutes in the hot and muggy weather the other day tanning, which she rarely if ever does.

Yeah, what are sisters for? I'd hate to tell the one lady this, but she is in her 50s. It's not like they're both 25. No, they're more than double that. While one did seem comfortable with her hair being the way it was, the other is obsessively dying her's. I know some people who get gray in their 30s. I know some guys who go bald in their 20s. I know some who go white in their 30s. That hair isn't going to be "perfect" forever. If your sis wants to let it naturally go gray or white, then so be it. If she isn't obsessive over looking like she's 30, then again, so be it. You should be wanting her to be happy, as opposed to making her insecure about something as little as hair color. I know some may not believe this, but there are more important things in the world than one's hair color at the age of 50. It might place in the top 5 of most important things in the world, but it's not #1, I'm sorry to say. And, if couldn't read the sarcasm in that statement, then I'm sorry. Hair color isn't even in the top 1,000,000 of most important issues in the world and even that might be stretching it.
